*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter. they were greatly appreciated thank-you so much*
"How do I look?" I ask as I come out of the bedroom dressed in a grey pencil skirt that comes to my knees, black nylons, black heels, white blouse with a grey jacket over top of the blouse. I have my hair braided off to the side with a small pair of diamond studs in my ears with a diamond necklace to match. "Do I look all right?"
"You look hot," says Seth with a smile as he is packing up some boxes to take to the new house. He won't let me do anything with moving he said that Roman and him can take care of everything but no Dean because they aren't talking to Dean right now because Dean was involved with Tayla but they broke up when she and Roman got back together a couple weeks ago. I try to stay out of their drama and I wish my husband would do the same we have our own lives to worry about like moving, me getting this internship and hopefully having a baby in the near future. "You ready for your interview?"
"I'm nervous," I say. "This could be my potential employer when I get out of school. It's one of the best rehabilitation centers in Tampa. If I get in here I can get all the experience I need and then hopefully once I graduate from college in December I will have a job waiting for me."
"I think you're going to get it," he says standing up. "Don't be nervous. You've got this," he says with a smile. "You're becoming such an amazing woman. You get more amazing every day. I'm happy to see you using your past to help build your future. You know where most of your clients are coming from. I think you're going to get this internship."
"I hope so," I say with a smile. "Do you want me to help you pack things up?"
"No," he says wrapping his arms around my waist holding me close to him. "Roman and I can take care of it all. I don't want you to do anything but take it easy."
"All right," I say with a smile. "I love you, Mr. Rollins."
"I love you, Mrs. Bautista-Rollins," he says before kissing my lips softly. "How about after your interview you and I enjoy some alone time together. How does that sound, Baby?"
"It sounds like a plan," I say with a smile as I play with his t-shirt. "I have missed you and I plan to show you just how much I have missed you in the last few days."
"I missed you too," he says with a smile. "I have great plans for us this afternoon and I love to see you dressed like that. It's a major turn on for me. My wife is young and hot," he smiles. "I can't wait to take that outfit off of you."
"Is that so?" I ask with a smile, "what if I want to take it off myself."
"No, J, I'll be taking it off of you. What color bra and panties do you have on?"
"Mr. Rollins," I say with a smile as I reach my hands up his shirt and touch his perfect abs. "Black lace for both," I smile.
"Nice," he says with a smile before he kisses my lips with so much passion and desire. I keep my hands on his abs as his hands cup my ass as he kisses me.
"EW!" yells Jonah causing us to break the kiss as he comes into the living room. "You're kissing again. You always kiss."
"We do, Buddy," says Seth with a smile. "I kiss your mama because I love her."
"It's still yucky," he says making me smile. "She's a girl!"
"I am a girl," I say with a smile removing my hands from Seth's shirt and putting distance between us, "and one day you're going to kiss girls too. Don't you have a girlfriend at school?"
"Yeah but I don't kiss her, Mama," he says making me smile.
"One day you'll want to kiss her," I say with a smile, "but promise me that you won't ever treat a girl badly. You should always respect girls and never hit them or call them names. It's not polite and only bad men do that and I want you to be a good man like your daddy," I say with a smile.
"I will, Mama," he says with a smile.
"So are you ready to go to school, Buddy?" I ask.
"Yes, Mama."
"Okay, let me put your shoes on and we'll go because Mama has a very important interview today that will change her life forever."
"Yay, Mama!" he says with excitement before I grab his shoes from beside the door. He sits on the couch for me to put on his Jordan sneakers and I tie them before he stands up. "Bye, Daddy."
"Bye, Buddy," he says. "Have a good day at school."
"I will," he says with a smile making me smile.
"Bye, Baby," I say giving Seth a quick kiss on the lips. "I love you."
"I love you too," he says with a smile. "Meet me at the new house after your interview."
"I will," I say with a smile.
Jonah and I walk out the door of our apartment. We walk down the stairs and out the door. I put Jonah in the car seat and climb into the driver's seat. I start the drive to the new beginning of my life stopping to drop Jonah off at his school and then driving to my internship interview at one of the best drug rehabilitation centers in Tampa. I know it well, I actually completed some of my rehab at it. I loved it as a patient but to go back and have an internship job there and hopefully a job that would be even better. It would be perfect for me.
Nervously I pull into the parking lot of the rehabilitation center and park my car. It's much different to me this time I'm not a patient, I am a woman that changed her life because of this place. This center holds a special meaning in my heart. It helped me with my sickness and helped me overcome it. I walk in the door and take a look around before I walk up to the receptionist. "Hello, I'm Jordyn Bautista-Rollins and I am here for my interview with Sam," I say.
"Yes," she says with a smile. "Jordyn, please have a seat. Sam will be with you shortly. I'll let him know that you're here."
"Thank-you," I say with a smile before I walk over to take a seat. It hasn't changed at all. It still smells the same and looks the same. The tiled floor looks like marble and the blue couches in the waiting area are comfortable. There pictures hanging on the blue wall of trees and flowers. It's all very welcoming with a table of magazines sitting on the glass top.
"Jordyn," says a male voice.
"Yes," I say with a smile.
"I'm Sam," he says, "it's nice to meet you," he says before I shake his hand. "Follow me and we'll go talk in my office."
"Okay," I smile as I stand up and follow him to his office. He looks like he could be early 30's with dark brown hair, hazel eyes and he is well built. He is gorgeous I won't lie.
We reach a door and he allows me to go in first and then comes in after me shutting the door. "Please have a seat," he says before he sits down at the table in the middle of the room. I take a seat across from him. He pulls out a file and says, "I see you applied for the internship."
"Yes," I say with a smile.
"What year are you in at school?" he asks.
"I'm starting my senior year of college. I have this semester and next before I graduate," I answer him with a smile.
"How old are you if you don't mind me asking?"
"18," I answer.
"And you're almost done with college?"
"Yes. I started college early. I got my GED and then started college right after."
"I see," he says, "so Jordyn, tell me about yourself, what are you strengths and what are your weaknesses?"
"My strengths," I begin, "I would say my strengths are I am hardworking, determined, caring and loving. I'm also not a quitter I don't give up and I'm understanding as for my weaknesses I'm a little too worried about what people think of me and I like to please people. I am getting better at those though. I was a weaker person before but now I am stronger because I am working toward being a better person."
"Okay," he says as he writes something down with a smile. "Why do you want to be an intern here?"
"Because I like the program and what you do for addicts," I say. "It's also one of the best rehabilitation centers in the Tampa area."
"What do you hope to get out of your internship here?"
"I hope to be able to gain more knowledge in the field and help someone change their lives. I hope to strengthen my background in this work so that when I graduate college I have the experience to get a job. I want to take this internship as a learning experience."
"Very good," he says with a smile. "Why did you choose to become a drug and alcohol counselor?"
"When I was younger about the age of 13 I started smoking cigarettes and then I started with marijuana. When I was 14 I ran away from home with someone that I thought loved me and thought they would be my love for the rest of my life. He in turn pumped me with drugs. He started out by giving me heroin. He shot me up and I was hooked ever since that moment. I wanted heroin more than anything. I was willing to do anything to get it. The man used me to pay drug debts, drug deals and everything else that I don't want to go into. I was desperate for heroin I even stole from my own sister and my own niece because I needed to buy some heroin. I am not ashamed to say I was an addict. Heroin destroyed my life I almost lost my son because of heroin. I almost lost my life because of heroin. I had my son when I was 15 years old and he was sold to an undercover cop by the grace of God because his father didn't want him. I tried to escape that life but it always ended up in me being hurt. It took for my son's sperm donor to beat me nearly to my death putting me in a hospital where he came in to threaten me every day if I told on him he would kill me. It took all that for me to realize that I needed help, that I needed to get clean and make a better life for myself and my son hoping to get him back. I started my search for my son while I was in rehab in Phoenix and then once I found him we moved to Tampa and I actually started in the outpatient program here to get treatment for my addiction. I am almost 4 years sober and clean from heroin and I am proud to say that I kicked my habit. I promised myself I would make a better life for myself and my son. I have gotten married and I am in college now. I chose to be a drug and alcohol counselor because I understand that life. I understand what it's like to be in their shoes. I understand what it's like to be an addict. You never truly understand addiction until you have lived it or you lived to watch someone live with addiction. I want to make a difference in people's lives. I want them to see that there is a tomorrow, there is hope. I chose to be a drug and alcohol counselor to help other people see their worth and to make a difference in their lives like so many people have done for me to get me into this spot today. I am very passionate about helping addicts and I wanted to make it a career."
"I can see your passion for your choice of career," he smiles. "What are your goals after graduation?"
"My goals would be to find a job in the career field I am studying. I would love to have a job here with this company."
"And what do you think of our company and what we do?"
"I respect your company very much. I was once a patient here. I did the outpatient program and it helped me change my life. I love that you have a rehabilitation center for addicts and that you work with them to become better, to become stronger and I respect the fact you don't judge them for their choices or their circumstances. I also love that once they have completed the program you help them back on their feet. You help them get into college classes, help them get into high school. I love how you don't just help them heal from their addiction but help them back into society. I understand that the success rate outweighs the non-success rate. I know there's going to be that one person or more that will fall back. I understand that because I have been there. It takes a lot of hard work and caring individuals like you have at your center to make a difference in someone's life."
"And where do you see yourself in 5 years?" he asks.
"In 5 years I hope to have another child maybe two more, I hope to be working as a drug and alcohol counselor. I would also like to write a book sharing my story with others that have gone through addiction or are battling addiction. It's not an easy road and I understand that because I was there once but most importantly I want to be alive in 5 years so I can share my story with the world."
"Well, Jordyn, it was great to meet you today but all interns and employees will be required to have a background check and to be fingerprinted. Do you have any felonies that we should be aware of?"
"No," I answer honestly. "I have no record against me. I have never been in jail. I was saved before that happened."
"Wonderful," he says with a smile. "I would love to have you work for us. I would love for you to do your internship here base on your past and your knowledge of addiction. I still think there is more for you to learn and experience to gain from interning. I would love for you to intern here but first we need to get your background check done. Once we get the results of your checks and they come back clear you will be able to begin your internship. I just need to get you some papers to sign and I will be right back," he smiles before he gets up to leave the room. He comes back in with release forms for me to fill out and a lot of other paperwork needed for me to fill out. I fill it out before I leave and thank him for the opportunity and tell him I enjoyed meeting him today. He thanked me and told me I would hear from him as soon as the results to my background came back which would be a few days from now.
After I leave the rehabilitation center I drive to my new house that I will be sharing with Seth. I'm excited to move out of the small apartment and have my own house. I feel like I have come such a long way in almost 4 years. I'm a completely different person and I keep growing. I pull onto our new street with a smile on my face and drive down the road. I pull into our driveway and smile as I get out of the car. "Hey Neighbor!" yells my brother Ben.
"Hey, Ben," I say with a smile. "Is my husband inside?"
"Yeah," he says meeting me in my yard. "How do you like the house?"
"I love it. It was a big surprise. I can't believe we're going to be neighbors. Jonah and Mikey can play together all the time and then Langston can come play too. This is going to be good for us."
"You'll like the neighborhood," he says. "You're dressed up. Where were you?"
"I had an interview for my internship," I smile. "I think I got it. I just have to wait for my background check to come back then I'll know in a few days."
"That's pretty awesome," he says with a smile. "I am really proud of you. You're doing so well. You're really turning your life around."
"Thanks," I say, "so I was thinking."
"Yeah?"
"Remember when we were talking about Kris and if he worked for Dr. Ciccone?"
"What about it, J? What are you thinking about doing?"
"I want to know if it's true. I want to know if Kris worked for him and that was Dr. Ciccone's plan."
"I don't think it would so much be his plan. He's in jail. He's probably dead now and if not I don't know. Chelsea did have a run in with Brian's daughter when she was in New York if anyone sent Kris after you it was her. Her name is Sophia. You should look her up. She has a pretty nasty track record just like her father," he says. "I don't think it's safe to start digging up information on them. It's not good, J. You're married now, you have a son and your life is going in the right direction. Don't draw attention to our family and they'll leave us alone. I don't want them coming here after Alyssa or my son. I don't want them coming after you. You saw what happened to Chelsea and you know what happened to Dad and Tony at their hands. And if Kris was working for them, J you saw what he did to you. Just stay away from the New York drama and let whatever Kris did die between you two. He's in jail. Jonah is healthy and has a dad that loves him. Forget your past."
"I just want to know," I say. "That's all. I'm not going after any.."
"There's my beautiful wife," says Seth interrupting me with a smile on his face as he comes outside. "I was waiting for you to get here."
"I'm here," I say with a smile. "Ben, I'll talk to you later." I say before I walk over to Seth and greet him with a soft passionate kiss.
"So how did it go?" he asks as we walk into the house before I wave to Ben.
"It went very well. I think I got it. I had to fill out a lot of paperwork and I had to fill out release forms for my background check. He said I would hear from him in a few days. I am pretty sure I got it."
"It sounds like you did, Baby. I'm so happy for you," he says with a smile. "You deserve this."
"Thank-you," I say as we walk into the house. There are some boxes gathered in the living room. He has already started progress on the house and moving things over. I can't wait till the move is over and we're in our new house. "So, how is moving?"
"Good," he says with a smile. "I'm thinking we'll be out of the apartment by next weekend."
"Nice," I say, "so how about you take a break and spend some time with me before I have to go pick Jonah up from school."
"Sounds like a plan, Mrs. Bautista-Rollins," he says with a smile before he starts to unbutton my blouse exposing my black lace bra. I lift his t-shirt up over his head exposing his beautiful washboard abs. I slip out of my blouse tossing it to the floor before I pull Seth closer to me, kissing his lips passionately as I play with his hair. His hands kneading at my breasts, massaging them softly, his lips finding my neck, kissing it softly, he places his hand on my stomach before he kisses my lips again with a deeper passion, an I need you passionate kiss. I run my hands up his washboard abs and back down before I tug at his basketball shorts. I pull them down slowly with his help before he steps out of them. I stroke him through the cotton of his briefs as I continue to kiss him as I feel him hardening in my hand. I take my lips to his neck kissing it and nibbling it softly, kissing him down his chest to his belly button. I reach the top of his briefs and pull them down as I drop to my knees in front of him. I stroke him softly, hardening him more in my hand, precum on the tip of his cock. I take his cock in my mouth sucking it softly, making love to him with mouth as he moans from my pleasure. I take him deeper in my mouth as I grab his butt cheeks pushing him closer to me. I continue making love to him with my mouth, sucking him harder and taking him deeper as he groans and moans and just before I take him over the edge I remove him from my mouth and stand up. "Jordyn, I hate when you do that."
"I know but it's not time yet," I smile before I lead him up the stairs to the master bedroom. I shut the door behind us and start to strip out of my skirt, my nylons and my black lace panties. "Come here, Baby," I say signaling him with my finger. He smiles and walks over to me wrapping his arms around my small waist before he lays me down on the carpeted floor of our bedroom. "First time making love in this room," I say with a smile as he towers over me, teasing me with his cock.
"First time of many," he says with a smile as he leans down kissing my lips softly as he slowly enters me. I wrap my arms around his neck as he makes love to me softly and passionately. I moan with his movements as he goes slow and deep, hitting every spot. "Jordyn," he breathes in my ear. "I love you."
"I love you too," I say with a smile as I begin to move with him. "Fai l'amore con me" I smile.
"I don't know what you just said but it was hot," he says as he moves harder but not faster, taking his time hitting every sensitive spot as his lips capture mine, kissing me softly, passionately and deeply. The passion rips through my body and I moan out against his lips as he moans with me as we hit our climax together to finish up our love making for the afternoon. "I love you."
"I love you too," I say with a smile before he kisses my lips once more before he removes himself from me. "Ti amo."
"Is that Italian?" he asks me as we start to get dressed.
"Yes," I smile. "My mama used to teach us Italian when we were little. I am multilingual. I know Italian, English and Spanish. I can speak both Italian and Spanish fluently."
"I never knew that. That's impressive. You'll have to teach me."
"I can when I start working with Jonah on Italian. I want him to speak one of his languages."
"Good idea," he says. "So you know we have to go check out this new preschool."
"I know but I was actually thinking about sending him to the preschool Langston and Liberty are going to. I know I said I would never do that but it seems like a really good school. I was looking at it online."
"And it probably costs thousands of dollars a year for him to go. I'm not a main eventer yet, J. I bought us a house and you a new car. I don't have thousands to put in a school when there's a perfectly good preschool that costs nothing."
"He can get a scholarship, Seth," I say. "Besides I have money in my account I haven't even touched yet from my parents. I think I could use that to send him to school."
"I'll think about it but let's just check out the school I have in mind. I don't want Jonah going to some preppy snotty school to become a snotty kid. I love how he is right now."
"You might be right," I say, "but I have to go get him from school. We'll be back."
"Okay," he says. "Be careful."
"I will. Love you," I say before I kiss his lips. I make my way downstairs and grab my blouse to put on and then slip my heels back on before I leave to go get Jonah from preschool.
